After the shooting, which occurred at about 9:30 p.m., the officers immediately left the house and set up a perimeter around it, Jones said, while the man remained barricaded inside.

He said he did not know why officers originally went to the home.

In addition to Paris police and state police, the Lexington Police Department sent officers, dogs and its Mobile Command Post to the scene. The Bourbon County Sheriff’s Department and fire officials also were on site.
